I’m sad. Poor thing. I hope she didn’t suffer

I’ve just came home from running some errands and found babygirl dead. Whatever it was, I didn’t catch it on time 😢

Hi there! I checked her crop again this morning and it’s flat. Not squishy anymore - I’ve started Corid. Hoping she’ll make a full recovery

I’ve only got her. She’s a replacement for a hermaphrodite hen I’ve got from their farm. I think she will be well accepted once she feels better. I have 2 silkies that are about the same age as her and then an almost year old Easter egger - which used to be sweet - that’s turning into quite a...

Interesting about the vinegar, I always read that it was beneficial but I don’t add it all the time. Thank you for the info on that. I appreciate it. I posted a picture of her poop, it looks very liquid like. She’s been drinking a lot of water and I have medicated food as well. I’ll probably...

Thank you! I’ll post here in the morning. I’ll also start treating her for coccidiosis :/ poor baby

Good idea. I didn’t think of Coccidiosis because the poop wasn’t bloody, but I have the medicine so I’ll start it tomorrow :) thank you!

Gotcha! Will do!

Thank you for all the tips - I’ll get the safeguard- that’s a good idea. Her crop feels squishy. I left water and food in the coop with her but I’ll take it Away so I can check in the morning. Is it supposed to be flat? What does it mean if it’s squishy or hard? Sorry - super new to this. I...

I just checked and it feels squishy

I’ll check her crop now. I’ve been holding her here and there and didn’t noticed anything strange in terms of hardness or squishiness. No nasal discharge or mouth lesions. She was born in a farm in Santa Barbara - I’ve bought chickens from them before. They usually vaccinate them when they’re...

Thank you for your reply. She’s been separated from my other chickens. She’s about 3 months old - her crop seems normal, and she came from a well trusted farm here in California. I am surprised they didn’t catch before giving her to me that she wasn’t feeling well. Yesterday she seems shy, but...

Hi all, I’ve just got a new chicken about 2 days ago, and she’s acting a little weird. She’s been laying down the whole time and barely walking. I thought she was an albino chick, but now I think her comb is just pale :/ I’ve been noticing that her poop is very watery and green. She’s been...

Thank you so much! I’ve been giving her the apple cider vinegar water with eyedropper to make sure she’s getting some liquids at least. Her poop seems to be quite bloody - I can’t wait for her to be better 💔 How long after I stop corid should I start the medicated starter? Should I let their...

Hi all! I have two silkies that are about 10 weeks old. One of them appears to be lethargic and it’s not eating or drinking much. She’s all puffed up in a corner. I did some research and she seems to be having Coccidiosis symptoms. I’ve noticed this 2/3 days ago. I’ve ordered Corid to treat...

Oh poor baby. I hope she grows up to walk alright. That toe is all the way under :(

Hi there ! Here are some pictures for you to see. I hope they’re clear enough. Let me know if you think it would be worth doing the tape or band aid trick. I looked at her a little closer today and she seems to go off balance a bit whenever she steps on that foot that has the toe curled under

Hi! Thank you for your response. I’ll take a picture of it and post it here tomorrow. They’re sleeping now. She seems to get around just fine. However, she’s been just in the pen I have for them. I have to try to take her outside and see how she does. She has about 4 toes (if I remember...

Hi all! I’m new here :). I’ve recently got two silkies from a little farm. When I got home and started washing their feet (they had horrible poop feet), I realized that one of them has a toe curled under, plus an extra toe and some other ones that don’t look that straight either. I looked...
